GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The owners are responsible for these maintenance and inspection items.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service shop.
These items include those which should be checked on a daily basis, those which, in most cases, do not
require (special) tools and those which are considered to be reasonable for the owner to do.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as follows.
1. GENERAL NOTES
Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner's manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.
Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.
Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).
Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.
Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and increase exhaust emissions.
2. TIRES
(a) Check the pressure with a gauge.
If necessary, adjust.
(b) Check for cuts, damage or excessive wear.
3. WHEEL NUTS
When checking the tires, check the nuts for looseness or for missing nuts.
If necessary, tighten them.
4. TIRE ROTATION
Check the owner's manual supplement in which the maintenance schedule is shown.
5. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check for wear or cracks whenever they do not wipe clean.
If necessary, replace.
6. FLUID LEAKS
(a) Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water or other fluid.
(b) If you smell gasoline fumes or notice any leak, have the cause found and corrected.
7. DOORS AND ENGINE HOOD
(a) Check that all doors and includiing the trunk lid operate smoothly, and that all latches lock securely.
(b) Check that the engine hood secondary latch secures the hood from opening when the primary latch
is released.

ADJUSTMENT
1. INSPECT WASHER NOZZLE
(a) While operating the washer, check whether the upper
point where the washer fluid hits the windshield and the
upsurge area are within the range indicated by the
hatched line.
A: Approx. 150 mm (5.91 in.)
B: Approx. 50 mm (1.99 in.)
C: Approx. 0 - 50 mm (0 - 1.99 in.)
D: Approx. 30 mm (1.18 in.)
E: Approx. 20 mm (0.79 in.)
(b) Check if the lower point where the washer fluid hits the
windshield is within the range of the wiping pattern (the
area of the glass which is wiped by the wiper blades).
2. ADJUST WASHER NOZZLE
Using a tool like that one shown in the illustration, change the
direction of the nozzle hole to adjust the point where washer
fluid hits the windshield.
